Dive summary:

• A 70-year-old sanitation worker in Tampa Bay was nearly crushed to death by the back door of the truck he was cleaning.
• There are two cameras in the truck to prevent instances such as this but the worker, Xuan Van Ho, was inside the truck cleaning it where the cameras couldn’t see him.
• Van Ho was rushed to the hospital where he is in critical condition; the police expect no foul play by the worker who released the door.

From the article:

"The maintenance man apparently had been cleaning out the back of one of the dump trucks there," said St. Pete Police spokesman Mike Puetz. "During the course of that cleaning, somebody was in the cab, the driver was in the cab, he activated a switch that closed the door believing that the maintenance worker had evacuated the area."

For whatever reason, the unidentified driver did not see Xuan in the back of the truck.

Xuan, who neighbors say is originally from Vietnam, was taken to Bayfront Medical Center with what has been described as life-threatening injuries. ...
